It was Jay's task to record what Derrick had said.
Sooner or later, Derrick would pay for what he had done. But now was not the right time, so Charles wasn't planning to actually pour hot water on Derrick's head.
Charles pushed Derrick away and said, "Here's your phone. Call David here."
With his forehead creased, Derrick whispered, "You can find him yourself. Why do you ask me to call him here?"
The reason why Charles asked him to summon David was because he wanted them to confront each other on the spot. In that way, they would blame each other and ruin their relationship. Besides, Charles needed to hear the other side of the story to understand what was really going on.
Frightened, Derrick swallowed the lump on his throat. 'What a cruel man!'
It seemed like Charles had many ways to torment him.
"Just do as I say!" Seeing the hesitation on Derrick's face, Jay kicked his butt hard again.
Wincing in pain, Derrick shouted, "Ouch, wait, wait..."
"I'm waiting for you to call David now. Don't waste any time. Hurry up!" Clenching his teeth, Jay took the thermos bottle from Charles' hand and said, "You don't have the heart to do it, do you? Let me do it! I have the heart to do it!"
As Jay spoke, he raised the thermos bottle too high and the hot water began to drop.
"Ouch, you bastard, it's just a phone call. I'll call him.
Take the thermos bottle away quickly!" Since Derrick had no any connection with Jay, he knew that it was easy for him to do it.
"Just call!" Knowing that Derrick was a cruel and cunning man, Jay forced him to call David immediately. He might be plotting something bad as he dragged.
In the end, Derrick was left without a choice but to dial David's number.
As he pressed the phone against his ear, he prayed in his heart over and over again that David wouldn't answer the call.
Fortunately for Derrick, David had already turned off his phone a few days ago. He had done something that could be found out by Charles sooner or later, so David directly turned off his phone and found a place to hide.
On his first attempt, Derrick failed to get through, which made Derrick very happy. Then he pretended to call David several times more, but to no avail.
"As you can see, I've tried to call him multiple times but no one was answering. Maybe it's because David is busy, or maybe he's not at home. Alas, maybe it's because he has nothing to do with Nancy's disappearance!" At this moment, Derrick was so confident that he even raised his voice.
Hearing this, Jay looked at Charles and asked, "Where will David go?"
How could Charles know? In the past few days, Charles had been as busy as a spinning top. He looked for a doctor to treat his grandfather, while searching for Nancy and taking care of the two children.
Silence filled the room as Charles thought why David was suddenly out of reach.
Just then, Charles' phone rang.
It was a call from Edward.
As soon as he saw the news about Nancy today, he immediately called Charles.
Listlessly, Charles answered the phone, but he didn't say anything.
After all, he knew that Edward called for Nancy. How should he tell Edward that he didn't even know where she was?
Seconds had passed but Charles still didn't talk, so Edward asked, "It's said that you have another woman and you ruined Nancy on purpose. Is that true?"
At first, Edward didn't believe that Charles would do such a thing, but the media exaggerated it.
There were too many fake news, that people had been confused about what was true and what was not.
